Sorry if this has been pointed out previously - I just thought of it when I was meant to be revising private nuisance, but that's boring and GoT is exciting.
Tyrion foreshadowing R+L=J to Dany when he said something to the effect of 'No one in Westeros shares your last name'.

It's almost as good a script note as having Mel's reaction to Jon saying, "I swore a vow," being written as "bitch please". I know Carice ( ) loved that.

Stolen from sati's post in the memes thread to fit with the script notes for Jon Snow: ^ That's priceless I watched the episode on monday but I have just started a new job so I couldn't find energy to post here until now.I don't have much to add to what's already been said, it was epic. I loved Karsi. she's got balls! Someone here mentioned her beautiful deep voice, I noticed that too. She also looked very nordic which was fitting. Though the actress is danish, I think she has some features typical to sami people (the indigenous people living in the northern parts of Scandinavia). They often have almond shaped eyes like hers. So good to see a giant (Wun wun?) again! I was chlidishly excited about this: "The fuck you're looking at" was hilarious too. I sympathized him, a lonely giant fed up with people staring. The giants in the show are so big and ugly they're actually cute. I love them. I don't have much to complain, but I must say Dany's "regal face" irritates the hell out of me sometimes. I like Emilia when she shows some emotion. But every time she tries to look queenish and convincing her face goes blank, her eyes go dead and she ends up looking just awkward:

TV one almost as scary as the Ringwraiths in LOTR, or the wraiths in HP, but not quite. This poster one is definitely getting closer to as scary. (I notice his crown makes him the multi-horned NK from "Hell". )

Lena manages to make Cersei either smug or disdainfully removed from someone's conversation with just expression and Amelia only seems to glaze her eyes over. She's a good actress when emotion is required such as tears, love, anger (sometimes) and her best performances, oddly, are in Valaryian haha. Wun Wun smashing tiny undead under his massive feet was definitely awesome.

Watched again Tyrion and Dany's conversation. Hmm... why didn't they coach Emilia do project this Dany during season 2? She bites off the lines with good projection and I like her serious demeanor.

In the Entertainment Weekly interview she did in tandem with Peter Dinklage, I laughed when she said "Omg, finally, I'm on the telly with this guy!" and confessed that his acting brought out the best in her. I think having a good acting companion does help bring out a weaker actor's shine. See how lively and emotional she was when she spoke with Barristan too? He was a good actor and she could ride off that much easier. Her interactions with Peter went like an awkward first date and it was really good.

Well Dany's part in S2 didn't call for confidence and projection. Dany was still a young girl of four and ten, and she was still dealing with the loss of her husband and unborn son. Emilia probably gave them what they asked for.

Emilia probably gave them what they asked for. One thing I've wondered is if she's doing the "Floppy Ears" routine that Daenerys joked about a lot in the books. She routinely put on a bored Queen routine to get through long court sessions. Maybe Emilia read the scripts and was coached that way to make it look purposely fake?

The floppy ears referred to her wearing the tokar. She thought the cloth looked like rabbit ears.

The floppy ears referred to her wearing the tokar. She thought the cloth looked like rabbit ears. At least that's how I remember it. Yes it was in reference to the Tokar which she hated wearing but there was more to it than that. Here's a good explanation from a writer on re-read project: "Dany also dislikes the Meereenese culture, having taken to call wearing their gowns (tokars) as the “floppy ears”, after a witty remark from Ben Plumm. The floppy ears will continue to be a remark throughout the whole book whenever she poses as something she rather wouldn’t. The pyramids in which the nobility of Meereen lives are fortresses of ploys against her, but she can’t do anything against it. She acknowledges that winning the Meereenese is key to ruling the city, but she can’t really commit herself to it."She had to put on the Tokar to act like she supported the Meereenese culture which she actually despised as much as she does the people in general. It was a costume, a mask. I think maybe Emilia pretends to be disconnected and 'faking' it and people take that as bad acting. She's had some much better acting moments when she's not being "Queen" and is just "Dany"...

BTW did anyone catch Dany saying "for twenty years" when she and Tyrion were talking about Varys? That pretty much establishes how much time has passed in show canon (and how old Jon and Dany are meant to be in the show). In s1 everyone talked about Robert's Rebellion as being "seventeen years" ago and now by 508 it' twenty. So s1 to s5 has been three years, I guess. (Sorry if someone else already posted exactly this. It ain't exactly a revelation, just something interesting I've picked up through rewatching). Sorry, dont know if this has been said, but the series begins (Im certain) in 298al, seventeen years since RR, and the current year in show as reference by the wiki is 301al. So 3 years have passed. A lot of people on the show say the war lasted years. Stannis tells mel "I trusted in your visions and your prophecies for years" Sam says to Olly (fuck him) about Jon "I've been worrying about him for years" There's a larger timespan than the books, but it also makes a more sense since they need some way to explain how the actors, especially the younger ones, are aging so much.

GoT wiki isn't actually officially affiliated with the show so their surmises aren't canon. But yeah, the show confirmed this year it's been three years, you're right.

Petyr said in 408 when talking to the Vale people after Sansa saved his ass that "twenty years ago" blah blah Robert Baratheon fought against the Mad King. Just seems like confirmation to me. As far as I am concerned after this year I am adding 4 years to every kid's age since the beginning. The extra year is because Sophie isn't 16 and Maisie ain't 15. Pretty sure Isaac won't look 13 either. There is a limit to my suspension of disbelief.
